NEW KID ON THE BLOCK: HEYDAY
Heyday aims to disrupt the facial industry by making the experience easier, less fussy, and cheaper. “It shouldn’t cost north of $200 to get a high-quality facial,” says co-founder Adam Ross. (Plus: no pan flutes.) Take a look around.

COMING SOON: VAMPIRE FACIALS
Spring Street Dermatology is opening an office on Chambers Street. The cosmetic services being touted include sweat reduction, chin fat reduction, and “vampire facials,” which involve your own blood being injected into your skin. (Note: Kim Kardashian’s photo, above, was too gruesome for 7 a.m., so I made it black-and-white. But if you click through to the post, brace yourself for the bloody original.)
